Reply to: EU to offer a new deal

[Old Greg]

It is but I am objecting to Ireland lobbying (interfering in) American Politicians to sway them against offering any trade deal with the US after Brexit.

The US is free to trade with who it wants, but those trade negotiations should be between the two countries involved, and not have any attempted sabotage by a third country that has no place in those negotiations.

Tell me I wrong, and why I am wrong, to object to this happening.

You are naive. This is geopolitics and the UK wants to strike out on its own - welcome to that world. Ireland is a small country, but it has significant leverage in the USA and is going to use it. Why shouldn't it?

Feel free to object and see where it gets you.

Presumably you think the USA is free to trade with other countries as it wishes. Isn't an independent trade policy what you want for the UK?

I see you selectively managed to miss out one of my posts. No a sympathiser are we?

??

My comment was related to yours about the US having a vote on a US trade deal, there were no other posts of yours relevant to that.

Sympathiser of what?

[Old Greg]

How does that make you feel. A third country attempting to interfere with British Politics?

He's on a roll this morning. Apparently a US politician having a veto on a US trade deal is now "attempting to interfere with British politics".

Go back 100 years and the provisional government of the Irish Republic was raising money in the USA but that was some time ago.

That is beyond the pale.

[Old Greg]

Another lie.

Ireland never asked America for money to buy guns. Irish terrorist organisations, not the whole island, nor a country on the island.

Next Ireland will be asking the American's for money to buy guns AGAIN!

Nothing to do with the Irish political organisation Sinn Fein then.

Negotiations going well.

Looks like the EU will offer a text to be included in the non-binding political document that will waffle on about technology to be developed by Unicorn Systems Plc to resolve the Irish backstop.

EU UK revised agreement to be put to parliament in late March

Just want to point out that it isn't a humiliation as suggested by some, but a perfectly reasonable offer.

You think parliament will accept that?

yet what controls are the EU putting in place to restrict the movement of pigs in those affected areas of the EU? none.

There really in no point is a discussion with the 3 wise monkeys.

Nor is there any point having a discussion with someone who lies.

Here, I've fixed it for you, if you don't have the cojones to do it yourself:

It’s acted. In case you haven’t noticed, Member States have their own competent authorities that actually do the work, “the EU” doesn’t actually have livestock inspectors.

I hope there is a special place in hell for those in the Eurpoe who enable the spread of this terrible disease to the UK

[meridian]

No but I am blaming the EU for failing to act over African Swine fever after it's sudden leap from Eastern EU states to Belgium. This is bigger than the foot and mouth crisis.

[Yorkie62]

Then stop complaining that “the EU” haven’t done anything. They’ve laid out clear instructions for each Member State and their competent authorities to act. If you have evidence that individual Member States are not acting appropriately, then submit that evidence to the competent authority in that Member State

If your argument is that an airborne disease is being transmitted over the air, we cannot help with your ignorance of basic nature.

Are you blaming British Racing for equine flu, or the EU for that one as well....
